last reported on the project in July, the elevator was to have three stops, terminating at the plaza level. The city's public works department is planning to install the new elevator in the middle of the plaza to provide better access to the underground subway station from the street for individuals who use wheelchairs and others with mobility issues.
It is working in conjunction with SFMTA on the project.The "newly designed accessible elevator is a $14.5 million project," Sweet told the merchants.She added that the project has been delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic and is still in design review.It was not immediately clear if the cost estimate Sweet provided is for just the elevator or other parts of the project.
